Abstract
Techniques are described herein for providing locality-sensitive search suggestions. When users issue search queries, the localities of the users who issue those search queries are associated with the search queries. The users may be grouped into populations, such that each population has a locality that corresponds to the localities of the users in that population. The issuances of the search queries induce a distribution of interest with respect to the issued search queries among the populations. A subset (e.g., one or more) of the issued search queries is suggested to a user who provides a search query (e.g., a preliminary search query or an issued search query), which is deemed to be relevant to the subset of the issued search queries, based on the distribution of interest.
